Book 3: Chapter 21: A Bunch of Geniuses
Erm… Looking at the situation, Young Miss still has a chance. At worst, we can add me, the maid. After all, I am a personal maid.
However, isn’t it ridiculous to get me for free?
Also, this Jeanne d’Arc is definitely a great enemy. She fits every one of Little Heng’s criteria. As for Sirin, Little Heng probably won’t lay his hands on her, right? Probably not…no. Judging from this, Young Miss cannot even compare to Sirin.
Jeanne d’Arc and Sirin, who sat across from Raven, appeared confused as they watched Raven look at them while writing something in her notebook.
“Alright, lunch is here. Eat quickly. We will go to the haunted house after we are done. How can we not go to the haunted house when visiting Vast Sea City Amusement Park? After the haunted house, we can go to the water park.”
Vast Sea City Amusement Park’s haunted house was truly excellent, no exaggeration at all.
Few visitors could come out with a calm expression. This was not due to how horrifying the environment in there was or how realistic the ghosts and monsters in there were. Instead, it was because the ghosts in Vast Sea City Amusement Park’s haunted house were all actual ghosts.
Furthermore, this was registered with and approved by the Special Affairs Bureau. Who knew why Vast Sea City’s Special Affairs Bureau approved such a ridiculous request? No matter what, Vast Sea City Amusement Park’s haunted house was very popular.
The extremely chilling atmosphere, the unique sinister air there, and the real ghosts made this place the mecca of haunted house lovers in the nation.
Furthermore, no competitors ever succeeded in beating them.
Any competitors that dared to cause trouble for Vast Sea City Amusement Park’s haunted house died strange deaths, so no one ever thought of snatching business from this haunted house again.
The Special Affairs Bureau did not care, as the ordinary people had made the first move. The retaliation of those from the hidden world still fell within the Special Affairs Bureau’s permissible actions.
Of course, the retaliation could not be too severe, at least not to the point of killing off their family.
Finally, this haunted house also became the best place for cultivators to pick up girls.
Of course, Vast Sea City Amusement Park enjoyed a high traffic flow. When such a major thing happened, it prompted some ignorant idiots who just awakened an ability to come and try ghost-busting.
Those people would get beaten up and tossed out.
However, this resulted in another job opening. Those who dared to come and hunt ghosts were people with courage and good potential. Hence, members responsible for recruiting for the various factions frequently haunted the place.
When the haunted house staff beat up those idiots and chased them out, these people would attempt to recruit them. Since these newcomers had not interacted with the hidden world before, they usually readily agreed to join.
A bunch of geniuses! Be it the master of these ghosts and monsters, the person in Vast Sea City’s Special Affairs Bureau who approved this, or the factions that used the haunted house to recruit people, they were all geniuses.
“Eat faster. After that, we’ll visit the haunted house and go to the water park!” Jeanne d’Arc was raring to go to the water park.
“Don’t eat too fast. Just take your time. We have a lot of time left for the water park. Sirin, slow down. If you want more, just tell me. We can order more. Same for you, Elder Sister Jeanne d’Arc.” How embarrassing! Truly embarrassing to address a child less than a month old as elder sister.
“Don’t call me Elder Sister Jeanne d’Arc. Just stick to Jeanne d’Arc.” Jeanne d’Arc decided to change Chen Heng’s form of address after some silence.
“I feel so too.”
Not just Chen Heng found it awkward; Jeanne d’Arc also found it strange. In reality, these two had a master-servant relationship.

After eating:
“Before we go to the haunted house, I need to inform you of this. The ghosts in Vast Sea City Amusement Park’s haunted house are all actual ghosts. However, they are ghosts who have licenses. So, Jeanne d’Arc, don’t ever attack them. You absolutely cannot attack them. Otherwise, we will get chased out. Also, Sirin, don’t be afraid. Elder Brother is here. If you are afraid, you can hold my arm.”
“Hah?! Why did you single me out? Am I someone who acts without thinking? Do you need to emphasize it so many times?” Jeanne d’Arc felt slightly upset.
“I definitely will not attack, Sirin is not capable of attacking, Elder Sister Raven knows the rules of the haunted house and will not attack—which leaves you. It’s not that I don’t believe you. However, important things need to be said repeatedly.”
“Alright, got it! Let’s head to the haunted house quickly. We still have the water park after that.”
When Chen Heng and Jeanne d’Arc spoke, they did not avoid Sirin and Raven. He did this intentionally to leak some information to Raven.
Chen Heng felt that Jeanne d’Arc had a rash character and would reveal her ability, so he might as well just tell Raven directly.
“Don’t worry. I’ll help you look after Miss Jeanne d’Arc and not let her get too frightened.”
“What a joke! Do I need to be taken care of? I am very courageous, alright?!” Jeanne d’Arc declared boldly.
Raven: Good. I gained another piece of information. I wonder who is stronger between Miss Jeanne d’Arc and the first young miss? Damn it! I should evaluate this too!
Five minutes later, Chen Heng’s group got chased out of the haunted house—for a reason he had not expected. This reason had not even crossed his mind at all.
After Chen Heng chased away a recruiter from some unknown faction, he held Sirin’s hand and looked at Raven and Jeanne d’Arc, both of whom had their heads lowered, showing helpless expressions.
“Elder Sister Raven, don’t you know the rules? Furthermore, didn’t you say you would look after Jeanne d’Arc? Why did you attack too? Had I not stopped you, you would have beaten the daylights out of that ghost. Also, your chest nearly smothered me to death earlier.” Chen Heng did not expect the steady, all-capable, and perfect Elder Sister Raven to fear ghosts.
“I couldn’t help it. To experience the haunted house better, I did not use my spiritual perception. When that ghost appeared unexpectedly, it looked ghastly. When frightened, one would cling to something nearby, and you happened to be beside me…. Take it as a benefit from me. Don’t tell me it did not feel comfortable?” Raven’s voice became increasingly softer.
“…” Alright, Chen Heng did not want to lie. It did feel good. Never mind Elder Sister Raven, there is an even bigger offender.
“Pfft!”
“Jeanne d’Arc, to think you are not embarrassed to laugh. Elder Sister Raven only injured a ghost at worst. Furthermore, that ghost only suffered light injuries. As for you, you directly went all out and blasted fire. Fortunately, the haunted house had a cultivator on standby. Otherwise, this would have blown up. If you burned the haunted house, we wouldn’t be able to leave and would have to wait for the Special Affairs Bureau to come. They do have a proper business license.”
